About

Academy of the Holy Names is one of a distinguished international network of schools sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, whose presence is felt throughout the world. The school offers a student-centered education for girls in grades 6-12 that is delivered with expertise and a passion for inspiring girls to become active leaders in service to others.

Student Life

Our girls are active. With so many teams, clubs, plays and shows, the challenge is to choose where to get involved. Not sure where you might fit in? We have many different levels where our girls get involved. It’s really up to you.

Spiritual Life

At Holy Names we not only believe in our spiritual values, we live them. Our girls are active members of a faith-based community. Those of other religious traditions are encouraged to develop a relationship with God according to their own beliefs.

Guidance & Wellness

At Holy Names we’re concerned about the whole person – body, mind and spirit. The opportunities and services we offer are designed to make sure our girls are well rounded, and that they reach their full potential as students and young women.

About

Academy of the Holy Names has launched the Invest. Inspire. Ignite Capital Campaign, its first campaign since 2001. The goal of the campaign is to raise $2.5 million for reconstruction of the North Classroom Wing and safety improvements to the entryway and facade.
